I'm a Raider fan, so it's hard for me to admit this, but Steve McNair is unstoppable.

I watched the season opener between Oakland and the boys in powder blue and.....I'm at a loss for words.

Aside from the flag happy officials (I believe there were 28 flags thrown for just under 300 penalty yards) and the marginal calling of the game (if you had seen some of the penalties you'd understand) it was a fantastic game.

Hard hits. Dominating defense. Just a fantastic game.

McNair was certainly on his game and then some tonight. I watched him complete passes that should not have been thrown; I watched him scramble, duck, juke, and then throw textbook passes to receivers; I seen McNair single handedly (one word??) beat the Raiders tonight.

It wasn't his offensive line (he was rushed most of the night) it wasn't his receivers (he was really threading a needle on some passes) and it certainly wasn't his running backs (George and Holcombe rushed for 57 yards?!?!) it was all McNair.

I knew he was good, but tonight he was unstoppable.

I don't know why I'm writing this; I just felt like it.

Any comments on the man called Steve?
Any Titans fans (*shakes fist) want to comment on the opener?
Any Raider fans want to commiserate on the loss?
